Ignatius of Loyola
Best-selling author Father James Martin, S.J, joins host Karen Wright Marsh to tell the riveting story of the Ignatius of Loyola and his transformative approach to the spiritual life.
Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556) was a bold, confident guy: die-hard, all in, going for broke. An aristocrat from Loyola in the Basque region of northern Spain, Ignatius had it all, castle included. But when a cannonball took him down, Ignatius’s life was forever changed and a global spiritual movement was begun.
The Rev. James Martin, SJ, is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America, consultor to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication and the author of many books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Jesuit Guide and Jesus: A Pilgrimage. His latest book Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone will be released in February 2021.
